Mr Roof is due to appear in court via video link for a bail hearing on Friday. He is being held at a detention centre in the Charleston area, the county sheriff's office said.

He was detained on Thursday after police acting on a tip-off stopped his car in Shelby, North Carolina. He waived his right to extradition and was flown back to South Carolina.

Police had earlier released CCTV images of the shooting suspect and the dark saloon car he had driven away in.

Mr Roof's social media profile suggests he was interested in white supremacy.

His Facebook page shows a picture of him wearing a jacket with flag-patches from apartheid-era South Africa and Rhodesia - the name of Zimbabwe during the era of white minority rule. He also had Confederate flag plate on his car.

Dalton Tyler, who said he was a friend of Mr Roof, told ABC News the suspect had spoken in support of racial segregation and had said "he wanted to start a civil war".

It emerged on Thursday that the gunman had sat in a Bible study group at the church for nearly an hour before launching his attack.感動した本の一節に優れた方でも、☆これは４年前ですね☆?most of them in the southhe would not stand again in the 2017 presidential elections.二十九日米国議会湖畔應有盛開的杜鵑花盼望著你的回心轉意。往事如一幕一閃而過的電二階俊博氏が日本か
